Liene Bosquê: What Still Stands

April 22–September 6, 2026
The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue

What persists after buildings are lost? What Still Stands explores architectural legacy, bringing museum objects into conversation with new work by Miami-based visual artist Liene Bosquê. Having researched the Wolfsonian collection in 2024 as the institution's first Creative Fellow, Bosquê focused on architectural drawings and decorative elements from the Arts and Crafts, Art Deco, and Art Nouveau styles, including a Hector Guimard cast-iron balustrade the artist exposed to sun to capture haunting afterimages. Presented with several of Bosquê's other architecturally inspired works, these cyanotypes invite questions about permanence and impermanence in built spaces.

The installation is presented in the Bridge Tender House (Josephine Baker Pavilion) outside the museum and on the 2nd floor—where original vault doors, relics of the Wolfsonian building's storage warehouse past, recall our site's earlier use and remind us of architecture's lasting power and many lives.

What Still Stands is organized by The Wolfsonian–FIU and supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Liene Bosquê received funding for this project from Corral & Cathers Artist Fund; The Ellies Awards, presented by Oolite Arts; and Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners.
